Vodafone Idea Tariff Hike: Prepaid Customers Porting Out To BSNL, says VIL CEO | Technology News

“One of the trends we have seen is that the port out to BSNL has generally risen from pre-tariff increase levels which is a space we are watching…And the reason for that is because they (BSNL) has not increased their tariffs so there is a fair amount of arbitrage,” he said.

Moondra viewed the quick decisions to port out as being taken purely on the basis of tariff action and may not eventually sustain, given the 4G coverage offered by VIL.

“We are watching this space – our expectation is that customers who are used to having good coverage and experience of 4G coverage, probably current offering of BSNL may not be to that extent…As people who may have taken a quick decision in terms of tariff actions…May most likely come back. But we will keep on watching this space and see what needs to be done,” he said.
